→Hitchhiking out
* Take a train somehow towards ''Oberhausen-Sterkrade''. From there take the bus #979 to the ''Heinrich-Heine-Straße'' in [[Bottrop]]. From there you'll see the motorway, just walk towards it. It's a good spot to hitch away fast towards [[Münster]] or [[Hannover]].
__NOTOC__
=== West towards [[Venlo]], [[Rotterdam]] and [[Amsterdam]] ===
There are two options:
1. Relatively central, between the Ruhrport harbour and the city center, there is a big roundabout in Duisburg Kaßlerfeld, which leads right onto the highway. Traffic is high, especially during rushhour and cars go slow through the roundabout with possibilities to stop. Use a sign with ''Venlo'' or ''A40''.
2. More towards the West of the city, there is a good onramp in ''Duisburg-Esseberg'' .
To get there, take the bus 928 towards ''WInkelhausen Bruchstraße'' and drop off at ''Duisburg Esseberg Brücke''. The bus quickly goes onto the highway and to cross the Rhine and leaves it exactly at the on/offramp you want to get on. After getting off the bus, walk back under the bridge to the onramp and position yourself just before the blue highway sign.
On a general not: Hitchhiking is difficult, as many people do not go very far. Therefore, anything that gets you onto the highway and to a service/rest stop is usually a good shot.
=== South towards [[Cologne]], [[Frankfurt]] and [[Nuremberg]] ===
